Extruder get loose
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
$begingroup$
Printer: Anet A6
I'm gaving some trouble with a loose hot end. I was trying to peel of some PLA when I noticed the whole thing was kinda loose. I could pull it out very easy.
So I tried to put it back, but it's verry loose and I don't know what exactly is wrong.
I'm not sure if I broke something, or doing something wrong. Does anyone know how to fix this or do I need a new extruder or hot-end?
Kind regards.
Update:
As Trish said in the accepted answer, the heatbreak is broken. When I've opened the extruder it became more clear:
I'm happy cause this is a fix for about 10 euro.

I am sorry to inform you, but your picture looks like your hotend has a broken heatbreak. The heatbreak is the screw that connects the heater block with he coldend.
Your first picture clearly shows that the tp 2 or 3 windings of the screw are ripped off. Probably from tightening the nut against the codend carriage and this way applying tremendous force - the lower picture hints that it was tightened far too strong.
You are lucky however, as replacement heatbreaks are easy to come by and cheap.
